Relay node and radio terminal

1. A relay node, comprising: a controller configured to establish a connection with a radio terminal and to establish a connection with a base station; a receiver configured to receive information of the radio terminal from the base station; and a transmitter configured to transmit the information to the radio terminal, wherein the receiver is configured to receive delivery acknowledgement information from the radio terminal before the information is transmitted, the delivery acknowledgement information indicates that the radio terminal has received the information, and the transmitter is configured to transmit, to the radio terminal, information on a period in which the relay node monitors a radio signal from the base station during discontinuous reception, and stop transmitting the information to the radio terminal in response to reception of the delivery acknowledgement information.

2. The relay node according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit a retransmission request for the information to the base station when the receiver fails to receive the information, and the transmitter is configured to, even when the receiver has failed to receive the information, stop transmitting the retransmission request to the base station in response to reception of the delivery acknowledgement information.

3. The relay node according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit identification information used to decode the information to the radio terminal, and the identification information is information that is assigned to the relay node by the base station.

4. The relay node according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit identification information used to decode the information to both the radio terminal and the base station, and the identification information is information that is assigned to the radio terminal by the relay node.

5. The relay node according to claim 1 , wherein the receiver is configured to receive control information from the base station, and the control information includes resource information used for which the relay node transmits the information to the radio terminal.

6. A radio terminal, comprising: a controller configured to establish a connection with a relay node; a receiver configured to attempt to receive, from a base station, information of the radio terminal to the relay node, and receive information on a period in which the relay node monitors a radio signal from the base station during discontinuous reception; and a transmitter configured to transmit, in response to successful reception of the information from the base station, delivery acknowledgement information indicating that the radio terminal has received the information to the relay node.

7. The radio terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the receiver is configured to receive identification information used to decode the information from the relay node, and the identification information is information that is assigned to the relay node by the base station.

8. The radio terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the receiver is configured to receive identification information used to decode the information from the relay node, and the identification information is information that is assigned to the radio terminal by the relay node.

9. The radio terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the receiver is configured to receive control information from the base station, the control information includes resource information used for which the relay node transmits the information to the radio terminal, and the receiver is configured to receive the information from the relay node based on the resource information.
